An Aberdeen-based energy industry service company is celebrating ten years in business following a successful first year for its latest products division.
Pressure Test Solutions Ltd (PTS) was established in 2008 and specialises in the rental, sales and calibration of equipment to the energy industry.
The business invested £250,000 in a new hydraulics and pneumatics products division in Q4 2017 to complement existing company services by offering hose assemblies and hose fittings for use on and offshore.
After only eleven full months trading, the new division is contributing 20% of company turnover.
Additional premises in the Bridge of Don, Aberdeen, were secured to house the new division, and a team of three members of staff were employed to support the enterprise, including manager Ian Reid who has more than 25 years’ industry experience.
The company has steadily grown over the years to become a leading player in the North Sea and international markets by continually investing in equipment, support services and its people.
Gary Notman, managing director of PTS, has been with the business for the last five years and helped guide it through the recession through a programme of diversification
He said: “We’re very proud to mark ten years in business and would like to thank all of our customers and suppliers for their continued support.
“The last few years have been very challenging for everyone in the energy industry, but we found a way to adapt and diversify our range of products to continue to generate income and secure the business.
“We’re very excited about the year ahead and look forward to continued growth and success in 2019 following our investment in the team and new premises.”
The business has also invested in a bespoke certification package which will enable clients to review each product’s history, including testing and certification dates directly from their office.
From its base in Denmore Industrial Estate, Bridge of Don, the business focuses on five key niche specialist areas: Pressure test equipment and instrumentation rental; hazardous area equipment rental; radio communications equipment; flushing units and hose reelers, and now the supply of hydraulic and pneumatic products, including Hammer Unions.
